I am not sure about the date or year it was 1995 0r 1996 I remember that the ski resort I was working at was still open, Spout Springs and I remember the owner asking us if we had seen those ships, He said they had gone right over him while he was grooming the ski runs late that night and morning. Myself my girlfriend (at the time)and her brother as well as three other coworkers from the ski resort were partying a bit and had decided to drive up to the Elgin Cemetary above town to hang out. Just before midnight we noticed strange movements in the ski as we watched what started out as just lights way up in the sky we watched 5 craft enter our atmosphere south of us towards La grand and Baker. Two of the craft appeared to enter too steeply they broke apart into 3 or 4 pieces slowing it down like an air brake and then came back together into a functional ship again. The 5 giant Triangle we can see now clearly as they came towards us from the south the crafts made a 90 degree turn to the east of us over the western edge of the Eagle Caps and then came right over us. The third triangle stopped directly over us. There were two in front of the one above us and the two others behind. The two ships behind were searching the sides of the mountains for something and they were beaming down these beams of concentrated lights to the ground in different colors, This continued for several hours. I turned my attention to the triangle right above me. I walked underneath of it further and stepped up onto a grave stone. The Triangle was huge and it was hard to tell exactly how big it was. I would say I could not have hit it by throwing a baseball up at it but I think I could have hit it with sling shot. The triangle was at least 100 yards on each side but it might have been higher and even bigger. There was no noise to speak of maybe a touch of a humming sound. Our hair on our arms and legs and heads were standing on end. There were four engine/big lights things on the bottom that were for scanning the ground and movement. When the crafts in the back were moving around we could see rainbow flashes coming from those engine/big lights. Around each of these (I am going to call them rainbow motors) rainbow motors was a gold ring which had symbols on it. The symbols on that golden ring looked like maybe Egyptian or older. The symbols glowed brightly as the rainbow motor was used. There was also a second type of symbol or writing on the bottom of the craft. It was triangles linked together by lines at different angles. It reminded me of cuniform a bit. The skin of the Triangle looked like dull metal but appeared black mostly. The craft appeared to be four triangles linked together like four panels that could be individual ships or could link into one huge triangle. On the edge of the triangle we could all clearly see "beings" looking at us through a window on the edge of the triangle. When I was underneath the craft I thought I would try to pray to it as an experiment but nothing happened and I didn't feel like I was being communicated with in any way. The six of us watched in awe for hours we all knew what we saw was not from here. About four in the morning the two ships in the back had found what they were looking for and the five craft exited our atmosphere without any noise just a bright flash of light coming out of that rainbow engine. It took just a second or two for them to flash and then we saw them going back through the stars back to wherever they came from. We all got in the car together and drove off the hill down into Elgin. We were very excited to see that most of the town was up in their yards with chairs and binoculars and cameras. Someone in Elgin has pictures there were too many witnesses. I have always wanted to spend a few weeks over there collecting the stories from the people there who saw them. I hope this report is useful. I am so pleased to be able to talk about it with less stigma. Thank you.
